Pathways of stakeholder influence in the Canadian forestry industry
研究了利益相关者在企业可持续性领域施加影响的直接和间接路径，发现不控制关键资源的利益相关者可通过影响企业依赖的其他利益相关者间接施压。
Abstract We draw on the stakeholder influence literature to propose and empirically test hypotheses regarding the direct and indirect pathways of perceived influence that stakeholders exercise within the domain of corporate sustainability. Our results allow us to examine the interaction between different types of stakeholder pressure and different types of stakeholder influence strategy. We show that stakeholders who do not control resources critical to the focal firm's operations are able to pressure a firm indirectly via other stakeholders on whose resources the firm is dependent. We contribute to the stakeholder perspective by showing how stakeholders who are affected by the focal firm's operations can enhance their salience via stakeholders who can affect the firm.
